We as people live by time. We are surrounded by the timing of every aspect of our entire lives. So how do we not worry about the future? Or get over the past? Being not focused on time seems pretty impossible. For me, I constantly think of the future. I get nervous about events thatContinue reading “El Condor Pasa”

A Mental Cleanse
Summer. That word always made my shoulders immediately go down and my smile go higher. This year has been the hardest year in my life so far. I have wanted a break since school began. Each school break I had, was no break at all. I always blamed it on an occurance that happened. WhichContinue reading “A Mental Cleanse”
May is Mental Health
The worst thing to do in life is hide how you feel. For years and years I have pushed my true feelings back so I can stay the happy person I always felt I was. But there was a big problem in doing this. I pushed the horrible feelings back which made them grow andContinue reading “May is Mental Health”
To Trust
I have always gone by my heart instead of my mind. I think with my heart. I live through my heart. And I think I always will. But when you live through your heart, it breaks much easier. I have lost many people both through life and death. When my journey in the hospital firstContinue reading “To Trust”
Do it Anyway
I was sitting in the car with my best friend on Saturday. Like everyday, I was crying. We were going on about the things we both have been through. The good, the bad, the beauty, and the sad. She then told me this quote: “People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered; Forgive them anyway. IfContinue reading “Do it Anyway”

But my mom would always say my version of yolo was “you only live once so be careful and don’t die.” Which honestly was true. My anxiety was such a huge aspect of myContinue reading “You Only Live Once”
For the Misfits and Magnificents
I never was part of a “friend group.” If I ever called it that, I was wrong. I was always friends with different people. My best friends I have now come from many different groups of people. Yet we still are best friends. For me, I just never felt like I fit in anywhere. EveryContinue reading “For the Misfits and Magnificents”
To Be Nice. To Be Kind.
There is a difference between being nice and being kind. I never really thought there was. So many people use these two words interchangeably when really there is one aspect we do not realize separates them. We are always told to be friends with nice people. We are always told to be nice. Being niceContinue reading “To Be Nice. To Be Kind.”
Imperfectionist
I have gotten really good at hiding my flaws. Clothes that hide my muffin top. Concealing the tiny red dots of skin that appear on my face. Dark nail polish so I look more put together. Sweaters and pants on the days I am too drained to shave. Dry shampoo, dry shampoo, do not letContinue reading “Imperfectionist”
Everyday
I was sitting on the couch across from my therapist this past Wednesday. I was going on about my life and how I had only six weeks left of my Junior year of high school. I was going on about the work I have accomplished after missing a month of school. I was going onContinue reading “Everyday”
